Nice head turn, Ken.  These always look like they'd blow over in a mild breeze.  It's interesting to see this plumage, since evryone wants to get the pink, we rarely see this.

That does seem like a strange location for this bird Ken. Guess he must be lost and that is why he is there? I know, state the obvious right? Anyhow, it's nice to see a flamingo without the pink coloration.
